Skeletal System Flashcards
How many bones does an average adult have?
206 bones
has 80 total bones, composed of the skull, auditory ossicles, in the ear, hyoid bone, vertebral column and rib cage
Axial Skeleton
consists of the pectoral girdle and the upper limb bones and has a total of 126 bones
Appendicular Skeleton
has 8 cranial vault and 14 bones in the face that sums up to 22 bones
Skull
what consist of 2 parietal bones, 2 temporal bones, Occipital bone, Sphenoid bone, Ethmoid Bone, Frontal Bone
8 Cranial bones in the skull
is when the parietal bones and occipital bone join together
Lambdoid structure
is the union between temporal, parietal and the occipital bone
Squamous suture
found in the frontal, ethmoid bones, maxillary-largest, sphenoid
Paranal Sinuses (FEMS)
major entry and exit points for blood vessels that supply the brain
foramen magnum
(shaped like a hammer), (shaped like an anvil), (shaped like a stirrup, smallest bone in the body)
Malleus, Incus, Staples
is an unpaired, U-shaped bone not part of the skull but attached to the skull
Hyoid bone
supports the weight of the head and trunk, protects spinal cord, provides a site for muscle attachment
Vertebral Column
has 26 bones 7 cervical, 5 lumbar, 12 thoracic, 1 sacral, 1 coccygeal
Vertebral Column
made up of your sternum and 12 ribs, 12 thoracic vertebrae
Rib cage
protects the heart and lungs within the thorax and forms a semighrid
Thoracic cage
“sword shape”, breastbone
Sternum
“sword handle” (handle)
Manubrium
“Blade” (body)
Gladiolus
“sword tip”
Xiphoid process
superior margin of the manubrium
jugular notch
consists of two pairs of bones that attach the upper limb into the body
Pectoral Girdle
composed of 8 carpal bones, short region between the forearm and the hand
wrist
scaphoid lunate, triquetrum, pisiform
proximal row
hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium
distal row
support the body and are essential for standing, walking and running
lower limb
a ring of bone consisting of right and left hipbones and sacrum
pelvic girdle
what bone consist of three bones which are Ilium, Ischium, Pubis
Hip bone
superior portion of the ilium
Iliac crest
part of the lower limb between the knee and the ankle
leg
larger bone and supports 90% of the weight
Tibia
bone that only supports 10% of the weight
Fibula
